But I know that underneath all that he really wanted to head in the right direction.โJustiniano said 14-year-old J.W.
โSo when I made contact with him, I really wanted from the bottom of my heart to help him out.โAnd thatโs why Orlando PDโs Youth Liaisons exist.
โIโm not looking for recognition or to be on the news, I just want to help, thatโs all,โ Justiniano said.
I mean police officers, yes, do we chase after bad guys and take them to jail yes, yes but we do love reaching out to the community.โJustiniano said as the Outreach Officers got to know J.W., they discovered his passion to become a paramedic.
โAnd weโre here to help you go down that road and make better decisions.โTo find out more about the Orlando Police Departmentโs Youth Outreach program, email them: youthconnect@orlando.govCurrently, there are 23 OPD Youth Outreach Liaisons.
